About our NHL Trades news
Latest news on NHL trades, including player updates, rumours, announcements, exclusives and all headlines on any NHL team transaction.
NHL trades occur throughout the year, but the majority of them happen during the NHL trade deadline period. The trade deadline usually occurs in late February or early March, and is the last day that teams can make trades before the playoffs begin.
During the trade deadline period, teams will often trade players in order to improve their roster or to acquire draft picks for the future. In order for a trade to occur, both teams must agree on the terms of the trade, which typically involves the exchange of one or more players, draft picks, or other assets.
